There is a yellow diamond sign saying that it is a private road, but it is not visible until they have already made the turn into Intercon Drive. This results in them pulling forward to our security checkpoint looking for access to turn around ....otherwise if not granted access, they would need to try to back over the railroad crossing and out onto 9 Hwy. We are a Department of Defense subcontractor and need to restrict unauthorized access to our property. We are looking to order and place a larger sign on our property facing 9 Hwy. that would be more visible from the road. CITY OF RIVERSI MISSOURI Upstream from ordinary. General Information City of Riverside Staff Analysis Report PC23-05: Rezoning 1000 NW Intercon Drive Applicant: Tony Bonner, Intercontinental Engineering -Manufacturing Corporation Location: 1000 NW Intercon Drive Application: Rezone from General Planned Industrial (GP -I) to Planned Development (PD) Existing Land Use: Industrial Proposed Land Use: Industrial Site Area: 54.64 acres Procedure: The procedure for a rezoning requires a public hearing before the Planning Commission after at least 15 days notice has been given in a newspaper of general circulation and mailings to property owners within 185 feet of the proposed project. The public notification requirements have been fulfilled for this application. Introduction: The requested action is to rezone approximately 55 acres from "GP -I: General Planned Industrial" to "PD: Planned Development" to accommodate additional needed signage. The area is generally located south of Missouri Highway 9 close to the City's western city limits. Analysis: The property in question is currently zoned "GP -I: General Planned Industrial" and the current property owner, Intercontinental Engineering -Manufacturing Corporation is requesting to change the zoning to PD to allow for the placement of a sign. The UDO states that "the GP District shall be a holding district, no development shall occur within the GP District until the property has been rezoned". This requirement of the UDO was specifically put in place so that the Planning Commission and Board of Aldermen would have the ability to review development plans for each property within the Horizons area to ensure that it meets the Master Plan approved by the City. While no new development will be occurring at this location the applicant is in need of a sign that exceed the size and placement regulations under the city's code for property zoned GP. The applicant is a contract for the Department of Defense and is required to have secured access to their location. As more development has occurred in Horizons the applicant has had to deal with an increased number of tractor trailers turning down Intercon Drive thinking it is a through street. The road is currently signed with a standard yellow road sign that indicated it is not a through street, however this sign cannot be seen by drivers until after they have made the turn onto Intercon Drive. This results in the tractor trailers having to back up over the railroad tracks and on to Missouri Highway 9 or Intercon must breach their secure access and allow the tractor trailer to turn around putting their DOD contracts in jeopardy. The applicant is proposing a 4' x 6' to be placed on the southeast corner of Intercon Drive and Missouri Highway 9. This sign will be positioned so that tractor trailers will be able to see it before committing to the turn onto Intercon Drive. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the request to rezone property from GP -I to PD. It helps to address a major safety concern at this property for drivers as well as the property owner. It also moved the Page 1 of 2 City closer to having less property in GP zoning district which is meant to just be a "holding" zoning designations. The health and safety of Riverside as well as the desired to transition more properties to a PD zoning designation are items that have been identified in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
